Moon Diver Now Available on PSN

LOS ANGELES - Square Enix, Inc., the publisher of SQUARE ENIX interactive entertainment products in the Americas, announced today that its highly anticipated digital release Moon Diver is now available on the PlayStation Network. Developed for both the PlayStation Network and for Xbox LIVE Arcade for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, Moon Diver delivers frenetically fast-paced gameplay and a classic side-scrolling perspective for up to four players locally or via online cooperative play. The PlayStation Network version of Moon Diver is available today for $14.99 as this week's new title in PlayStation Network's ongoing Spring Fever event. Pricing and availability for the Xbox LIVE Arcade for Xbox 360 will be announced at a later date.

Developed by feelplus inc., Moon Diver was created by Koichi Yotsui, the visionary game designer behind one of the most iconic arcade action games of the last two decades, Strider. While Moon Diver certainly pays homage to its side-scrolling ancestor with hordes of enemies and gigantic bosses, the game innovates in a number of ways, including: entirely modern three-dimensional graphics; a dynamic and intuitive character experience and leveling system; four-player local and online co-op with the ability to instantly drop in and out; and finally, a number of unique, selectable, upgradeable and cooperatively combinable character special abilities called "MoonSault Combinations," which can dramatically alter the field of play at any moment – from powerful area-of-effect attacks to critical passive power boosts to simple, yet effective, invisibility.

Download Moon Diver today for an action-packed world of cooperative, side-scrolling mayhem.

The Moon Diver Story: At the dawn of the 22nd century, an evil power brought inanimate objects to life, and they turned on humanity. Bridges, automobiles, cities – the whole of humanity's creations were all compelled to turn on their makers. Mankind's fears of apocalypse became reality!
